Now what else is happening? What we are doing,
其他正在發生的事呢？我們
what the media is helping us to do is extrapolate from a few instances where people want to hurt,
或者說媒體推動我們從一些負面例子中進行聯想演繹
while ignoring the millions and billions of people who are dedicating their lives to helping spread the happiness in the world,
而無視了其他幾十億人貢獻他們的人生為世界傳播幸福
whether it's in soup kitchens to help the world a better place, or whether it's writing in our back yard.
例如派送食物的救助站讓世界變得更好，或者在后院里寫文章
Over 1800 Harvard students volunteer as part of Phillips Brooks House.
1800多名哈佛學生在PBHA組織里當志愿者
Remember the false stereotype that I talked about — whether it's here at Harvard or in the United States, so many people dedicate so much time to helping.
想想我之前談過的錯誤刻板印象——不管是在哈佛還是在全美國，很多人花了很多時間去幫助別人
And yet the focus is on the few that hurt.
但我們關注的卻是幾個負面的
And that creates certain scheme in our mind while we think the world must be a bad place.
這會在我們頭腦里形成一種觀念，我們會覺得這個世界是一個很糟糕的地方
The focuses are on terrorism primarily.
現在我們特別關注恐怖主義
But what about the millions and billions of people who want to live in peace?
但那幾十億個想生活在和平中的人呢
Again, this doesn't mean we need to ignore terrorism or the bad, or the negative — this is one important role of the media.
這并不代表我們要無視恐怖主義，或其他負面新聞——這是媒體一個很重要的職能
At the same time, we shouldn't also ignore the good.
但同時我們不應該無視了積極的新聞
The focus in media is mostly on people hurting other people.
媒體的關注大部份都是那些傷害別人的人
For example, through rape, while ignoring millions and billions of people who are making love everyday.
例如關注強暴，無視了幾十億人的正常性愛
